Frank G. Campbell's theatrical poster advertises a "Military Creation" built around Gettysburg, the battlefield that has drawn commemorative spectacle since the war ended. Shows of this kind used large-scale staging, battle scenes, and patriotic appeals to bring audiences into theaters, and the poster's bold lettering was meant to pull passersby in. Anniversary observances at Gettysburg, especially the 1913 semicentennial reunion of Union and Confederate veterans, turned the battle into a national symbol of reconciliation, and entertainments like this one reflected that same appetite for remembering the fight in dramatic form.
